Find out what's stopping Sidny Cabral from joining Benfica | OneFootball

Sidny Cabral sees his transfer to Sport Lisboa e Benfica halted due to demands from Estrela da Amadora. The selling club wants to safeguard its future and insists on including a significant percentage of future profits in a subsequent transaction. Intense discussions between the parties continue in an effort to overcome this contractual obstacle as quickly as possible.

The financial operation is expected to be closed for an amount around 6 million euros. This amount satisfies the tricolors given the quality demonstrated by the defender in the Liga Portugal Betclic. However, the payment method and the mentioned clauses are still being refined by both clubs to reach a full agreement.

The extremely congested schedule has delayed the final outcome of this market process. The Eagles play on Monday against Famalicão, while the Reboleira team played on Saturday. This competitive density also explains the slight delay in negotiations.

José Mourinho has already given the green light for the signing of the Cape Verde international. The Sadino coach admires the player's versatility and physical robustness, identifying him as an asset. The coach's approval was crucial for Rui Costa to decide to move forward with a formal proposal for the young talent.

This season, wearing the Estrela da Amadora jersey, Sidny Cabral – valued at 2 million euros – played 16 games: 15 in the Portuguese League and one in the Portuguese Cup. In the 1,358 minutes he was on the field, the defender, who can play on both the right and left, scored five goals and made three assists.
